ABSTRACT The Respite Ministry (RM) was founded by a Montgomery, Alabama, church to provide social and spiritual support in the community for individuals living with dementia and their family members. Though RM is led by a small staff, the majority of program hours are donated by trained volunteers. The curriculum stimulates participant cognition and self-worth through structured activities that include: exercise, group conversations, service projects, and collective worship. During these activities, participants and volunteers are melded together in a shared experience that de-emphasizes distinctions and fosters a loving spirit. This model of care has been replicated in 18 different cities.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Religion, Spirituality and Aging is an interdisciplinary, interfaith professional journal in which the needs, aspirations, and resources of aging constituencies come clearly into focus. Combining practical innovation and scholarly insight, the peer-reviewed journal offers timely information and probing articles on such subjects as long-term care for the aging, support systems for families of the aging, retirement, counseling, death, ethical issues, and more . Providing a crucial balance between theory and practice, the journal informs secular professionals – administrators, counselors, nurses, physicians, recreational rehabilitative therapists, and social workers – about developments in the field of Religion, Spirituality, and Aging. The journal also serves as a resource for religious professionals, such as pastors, religious educators, chaplains, and pastoral counselors who work with aging people and their families.
